Some Montgomery County officials are suggesting major concessions for White Flint developers after business interests said they would be unfairly squeezed to pay for the future urban town center along Rockville Pike.

 

County Executive Ike Leggett has backed out of plans to charge White Flint developers transportation impact taxes, which would help pay for infrastructure improvements in the area. Instead, he is proposing solely a special tax district for property owners within three-fourths of a mile of the White Flint Metro station — excluding existing residential sites.

Beginning next fiscal year, property owners within the special tax district would pay an extra 10 cents per $100 of assessed value.
